    My brother in laws Tacoma rotted out because of it. That's why I started this post. I would certainly take a minute to check out your son's Tacoma or better yet have him check it out - send him a link to this post. Pics on the first page by OffroadToy

    +1 rep or you George for posting this topic!

    I never noticed these cubby holes existed. What a terrible design.

    Quite the nasty surprise when I opened them up. Handfuls of leaves, twigs and even a branch on the passenger side.

    Between some compressed air, the shop vac and the jet sprayer on my hose I was able to clean these out.

    I did not notice this in other posts but the area actually goes toward the front of the vehicle and then bends around toward the center and crap was stuck around in there too.
